Up on the rear or down on the front = "lower" gearing. That means quicker accelleration down low, but less speed overall.

Reverse the formula, down in the rear or up in the front to give yourself "taller" gearing which means slightly less pull, but a higher actual speed in each gear.

Dylan, from the questions you are asking my suggestion to you is to ride the heck out of that bike. Dont fuss with it, I doubt it will make any difference.

Keep the air filter clean, enjoy the bike. Its summer. Go out and ride it.
